Sunrise is moving to late enough to overlap with morning walks with .

No ranty vlog today, just vibes with #dogstr

Had a Gresham's law moment at the grocery store yesterday. I debated buying brown sugar for longer than necessary because it “felt” expensive. I had to say the words out loud, “It’s (dollars) going to zero, spend the money Taylor.” It seems there’s a part of my brain that still thinks I can “save” and “cut spending” our way out of fiat poverty. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham%27s_law

There you have it, https://easydns.com is the place to run to!

Yup, this one is my favourite too.

Yup, same protocols, but “nobody” wanted to run big public relays/servers for free so most users just hopped on the default Bluesky one (and a handful of what became the popular Mastodon servers), thereby centralizing a decentralized system. Once again, convenience > security.

There are some that try; for example Cloudflare has a replacement for CAPTCHAs that doesn’t require any interaction from the user (linked below). It’s also roughly the same amount of work for devs to implement. The problem is that if the service goes down or the dev’s implementation breaks, the dev’s bosses will come screeching into their office asking why their paying customers can’t access the page and demand the security be removed, for convenience sake (ask me how I know 😶). I guess my opinion is that when it comes to security and convenience, there is no middle ground for the majority of people. There are some users who value security and will seek it out, and some builders who will relentlessly push for it at all costs (lovingly tagging , makers of the legendary Coldcard and other security-first products). Everyone else will make like entropy and slowly (or quickly) drift toward convenience.

Worth the risky click! 💦

In a choice between security and convenience, convenience will win every time. - some rando on the internet When trying to pitch some users on not leaving their passwords on a sticky note on their monitors, I was going to use the example of "you wouldn't tape your house keys to your front door". But before the words could leave my mouth I remembered a past house-call customer who did exactly that. The moral of the story is when planning for security, you either need to make the cost of shortcutting enormous and immediate (think firing w/perp-walk out the door) or more convenient than shortcutting. The first is obviously unpopular with most, and the second is a huge PITA for devs who will also choose convenience by offloading to MFA-in-a-box and shouting "let them eat TOTP apps and choose traffic lights!". Damn, this started as a funny story about security and ended in mild depression... 😭

Really? Damn… The last time I played with that stuff you had to depend on other server operators being willing to let yours connect, but nothing like this. I wonder if Bluesky added their own special sauce on top of the open source protocols? 🤷‍♂️

Hey , how many sats to add an option to have all media from selected users be automatically marked as “checked” in v0.7? (It’s me on my own server.) Or is that already a feature in 0.6 and I’m just blind? #bribecoding

It would be easier for normies to switch too…but are most normies running multiple Nostr apps on their phones? Why not a Docker image / Start9/Umbrel/etc app?

If I didn’t have 7000 other projects on the go I’d be working on a PR to add a custom Blossom server option to 😭

Which app / client?

It’s been almost 7 years, how has she not figured this out yet?

At this point most of us have heard of vibecoding, but what about bribecoding? Like, if I wanted to see custom blossom server support in by the end of September, could I zap that into existence? What might that cost? #bribecoding
